December 2009

The Learning Reps Programme is now an integral part of the Migrante Aotearoa work programme after over 100 national representatives of migrant worker communities voted to include it in their annual plan for 2010-11.
 
Programme Manager Sandy O'Neil addressed the inaugural congress of the organisation representing and advocating for migrant workers on Saturday the Migrante Aotearoa Congress, December 20095th of December.  She highlighted the Learning Reps Programme as an opportunity to inspire communities to get back into education.  Learning Reps are a friendly face in the workplace and advocate for learning to co-workers and employers. They are an important source of information for migrants who may be unaware of workplace qualifications and systems available to support industry learning.
 
A weekend training programme will be rolled out in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch from January to March 2010.
